If so, don't let your conscience bother you. More leisurely aqtivjty, both at work and at play, means not only less physical discomfort, but makes you far less vulnera ble to accidents and injuries. According to studies of hot weather accidents by the Insth tute for Safer Living of the A merican Mutual Liability Insur ance Company, over exertion of ten plays an Important part in drownings, sunstroke, heat ex haustion and many 'accidental injuries around the home or while on Vacation. Heavy physical activity in the hot sUn can be really dangerous unless you are conditioned for It by an outdoor occupation. TTiose who work or play outdoors only occasionally should approach these pursuits with a certain de gree of laziness. Gardening and lawn work are among the most common activi ties leading to over- exertion, which In turn, may lead to sun stroke or perhaps an injury caused by thoughless use of a garden tool. Take such work in small doses on hot sunny days and preferably save your heavi est work for cloudy days or coo) evon'ngs. Always wear a head covering when gardening or when doing lawn work in the sun. Adults especially, have little business Indulging in such stre nuo.us sports as baseball or ten nis when the mercury .is soaring, unless, of course, they are pro fessionals. Wise golfers will take short breathers after complting each hole. Children and teen agers should be encouraged not to over indulge in the more ac tive sports and games. A factor causing many swim ming accidents is staying in the water too long when you are un accustomed to it. This leads to exhaustion. Many fail to reach shore. Rest frequently, especial ly when swimming in deep wa ter. Danger always lurks in the woods for tired hikers. Fatigue induces thoughtless actions which may produce such mis haps as sprained ankles, con tacts with poison ivy, encounter with a poisonous snake, a bad fall, heat exhaustion or even getting lost. Plan your hike so | you will reach a good stopping place before you are worn out. I Fatigue while driving on long auto trips, accounts for many fatal highway accidents, so here is another occasion where tak ing it easy pays dividends in family safety. Frequent coffee or rest stops are a must for vaca tioning auto travelers. However, being relaxed behind the wheel does not mean that you should not stay alert at all times. These are only a few of num erous activities where a bit on' the lazy side may save your Mfe, alter thethermometer hits 80 or 90. So don't hurry. Chances are you'll accomplish quite as much by mixing rest with elbow grease. -Vy -V?
